Thought you might be interested in a new Canadian company called AlertWear. Their website is www.alertwear.com and they launched in Ontario about a month or so ago. The parents started the company because of their peanut allergic daughter.

They have three lines of all non-metal awareness products: AlertWear, AllergyWear and IdentWear.

They design and produce lots of stuff under each brand line for people with food allergies and medical conditions.

I went to go order from them because I decided to have them send it to my friend in New Westminster and I'd go pick it up. I can't do it. They don't let you put in two addresses, one for billing and one for shipping on the web. So, you have to send things to your billing address. Oh, and if your billing address isn't in Canada, you can't order from them at all on the internet. I think that's pretty crappy.

I totally understand your disappointment. Those of us in Canada have that same problem with wanting to purchase from the US too. More times than not a US company will not ship to Canada, and if they do we have to worry about crazy shipping charges and then huge duty taxes just to get the package over the border. Sometimes the cost of shipping and duty fees match or go over the cost of the item we're looking to buy. Oh -- and then let's talk about currency exchange rates.... There's probably some legal reason why they can't yet ship to the US -- why not drop them a line to find out? Maybe they'll be able to figure out a way to make the transaction for you -- I'm sure they'd love your money...

Thanks Sue. I will give you guys a call. It just surprised me that there was only a thing to order if you were Canadian. I'm used to having the Billing and the Shipping address able to be separated. I'm just having a frustrating week! Nothing I want to do is going correctly.
